Yii CGridView custom footer - yii

Question

I am using CGridView to show data in grid format, but i am not able to create a custom footer,
the code that i am using,
<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView',
array('dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'columns' => array(
array(
'name' => 'created_date',
'header' => 'Created',
),
array(
'name' => 'access_date',
'header' => 'Accessed',
),
array(
'name' => 'referenceCode',
'header' => 'Ref Code',
),
array(
'name' => 'designation',
'header' => 'Designation',
),
array(
'name' => 'company',
'header' => 'Company',
),
array(
'name' => 'recommended_actions',
'header' => 'Recommended Action',
'type' => 'html',
'value' => function($jobBoard) {
return CHtml::link($recAction[0]['display_text'], Yii::app()->createUrl($actionUrl, $params));
}
),
array(
'class' => 'CDataColumn',
'header' => 'List of Actions',
'type' => 'html',
'value' => function($jobBoard){
echo '<div class="action-joborder">
<ul class="moveto-joborder">
<li>Action <img height="6" width="7" alt="" src="images/bg_action.gif">
<ul>';
echo '<li>'.CHtml::link($actionArray['display_text'], Yii::app()->createUrl($actionUrl, $params)).'</li>';
echo '</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>';
},
'name' => 'actions',
),
)));
?>
the above code gives me footer with pagination only, i want to place a some Button element to give the grid some control.
the grid should look like,
is there any way i can make custom element at the footer.

Answer 1

You can extend framework/zii/widgets/grid/CGridView.php and use it in your code. extend the following method to change footer
public function renderTableFooter()
{
$hasFilter=$this->filter!==null && $this->filterPosition===self::FILTER_POS_FOOTER;
$hasFooter=$this->getHasFooter();
if($hasFilter || $hasFooter)
{
echo "<tfoot>\n";
if($hasFooter)
{
echo "<tr>\n";
foreach($this->columns as $column)
$column->renderFooterCell();
echo "</tr>\n";
}
if($hasFilter)
$this->renderFilter();
echo "</tfoot>\n";
}
}

protected/components/GridView.php
Yii::import('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView');
class GridView extends CGridView
{
/**
* Renders the table footer.
*/
public function renderTableFooter()
{
$hasFilter=$this->filter!==null && $this->filterPosition===self::FILTER_POS_FOOTER;
$hasFooter=$this->getHasFooter();
if($hasFilter || $hasFooter)
{
echo "<tfoot>\n";
if($hasFooter)
{
echo "<tr>\n";
foreach($this->columns as $column){
if($column->footer!='')
$column->footer=eval("return " . $column->footer.";");
$column->renderFooterCell();
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
if($hasFilter)
$this->renderFilter();
echo "</tfoot>\n";
}
}
public function sumTotal($attribute){
$data=$this->dataProvider->getData();
$sum=0;
foreach($data as $index => $value ){
if(isset($data[$index]->{$attribute}))
$sum+=$data[$index]->{$attribute};
}
return $sum;
}
}
views/{controllers}/{action}.php
$this->widget('GridView',
array('dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
